  1. For Developers

Hardware Requirements

Archive Nodes

Archive Nodes store the full history of the blockchain from the genesis block. Archive nodes are critical for decentralisation and can be used in development environments or by operators who need access to the complete network history.

Full Nodes

Full nodes store the headers and bodies of all blocks since genesis, but do not retain all historical state changes—they only keep the latest state snapshot, with older states pruned.

Light Nodes

Light nodes store only the block headers without the transaction data or state. They are suitable for low‑resource devices that still need to participate in the network and access key information.
